ENGLISH
GENERAL
Carefully read the contents of this manual since it provides
important instructions regarding safety of installation, use
and maintenance.
Keep the manual for possible future consultation.
All the operations relating to installation (electrical
connections) must be carried out by specialised personnel
in conformity with the regulations in force.
1.1 The principle of induction:
The system of cooking by induction is based on the physical
phenomenon of magnetic induction.
The fundamental feature of this system is direct transfer of heat
energy from the generator to the pan without intermediate
means (dierent from traditional cooker tops see Fig.1).
1.2 Advantages:
If you compare your electric cooktop, with the induction
cooktop, the result will be:
-Safer: low temperature on the glass surface.
-Quicker: brief heating times.
-More precise: the top reacts immediately to your commands.
-More ecient: 90% of the energy absorbed is transformed
into heat.
Furthermore, once the pan has been removed from the hob,
heat transmission is stopped immediately, thereby preventing
the needless dispersion of heat.
The system also automatically recognises the various
diameters of all pans and uses a suitable power level for
each size.
This means that we are able to use pans of various sizes,
provided that the pan diameter is no more than 10% larger
- or 40% smaller - than the printed detail marked on the hob
(Fig.5B).
Caution: if you are using a pan with a diameter which is more
than 40% smaller than the printing marked on the glass, the
cooking zone may not be activated.
1.3 Cooking vessels (Fig.5A):
Cooking by induction uses magnetism to generate heat. The
vessels must therefore contain iron.
Check if the vessel material is magnetic using a magnet.
Important:
To prevent permanent damage to the cooker surface, do
not use:
-Pans with bases that are not perfectly at.
-Metal pans with enamelled bases.
-Do not use pans with rough bases as they may scratch the
hob’s surface.
SAFETY WARNINGS
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are
supervised or have been given instructions concerning use of
the appliance by a responsible person for their safety.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
Before using the induction cooktop it is important to check
that the apparatus is compatible with anyone who has a
pacemaker and active surgical implants.
Before connecting the appliance to the electricity supply:
-Check that the voltage and power values listed on the data
plate (positioned on the lower part of the appliance) are
compatible with the electricity supply and socket. If you
have any doubts, please consult a qualied electrician for
assistance.
Important:
-If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similar qualied person
in order to avoid a hazard.
-Metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons or lids must not
be placed on the cooker surface as they can get hot.
-After use, switch the cooker o using the control device and
do not rely on the pan detector.
-Avoid liquid spilling, therefore to boil or heat liquids reduce
the heat supply.
-Do not leave the heating elements switched on with empty
vessels or without vessels.
-When you have nished cooking, switch o the relative
resistance using the control indicated below.
-Never use aluminium foil for cooking, or never place
products wrapped in aluminium foil onto the cooking surface.
The aluminium would melt and damage your apparatus
irreversibly.
-Never heat a tin or can of food without opening it – it could
explode! This warning applies to hobs of all types.
-The use of high power like the Booster function is not suitable
for heating some liquids like, for example, frying oil.The exces-
sive heat may be dangerous. In these cases, we recommend
using a lower power.
-The containers must be placed directly on the hob and must
be centred. Do not, in any case, insert objects between the
pan and the hob.
-In a situation of high temperatures, the appliance automati-
cally decreases the power level of the cooking areas.
Attention: do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
Attention: if the surface is cracked, switch the apparatus o
to prevent electric shocks.
Attention: the appliance is not intended to be operated
by means of external timer or separated remote-control
system.
This appliance conformsto the EuropeanDirective EC/2002/96,
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). By making
sure that this appliance is disposed of in a suitable manner,
the user is helping to prevent potential damage to the
environment or to public health.
The symbol on the product or on the accompanying
paperwork indicates that the appliance should not be
treated as domestic waste, but should be delivered to a
suitable electric and electronic appliance recycling collection
point. Follow local guidelines when disposing of waste. For
more information on the treatment, re-use and recycling of
this product, please contact your local authority, domestic
waste collection service or the shop where the appliance was
purchased.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions address specialised installers and serve
as a guide for installation, adjustment and maintenance in
conformity with the laws and regulations in force.
Positioning (Fig.4):
The appliance is made for xing into a worktop, as shown in
the relevant gure. Apply the supplied sealant to the entire
perimeter of the hob and insert it into the tment hole (for
sizing see Fig.4B). Fix the appliance into the worktop with the
4 stays, rotating them according to the top’s depth (Fig.4A).
If the underside of the appliance will be accessible after
installation, a separator panel G(Fig.7A) will need to be
mounted maintaining the distances shown (Fig.7B).
If the appliance is installed over an oven the panel is not
necessary (Fig.8A - Fig.8B).
Important: if there is an oven under the induction hob it is
advisable for it to have a cooling fan. Do not use the induction
hob while PYROLITIC cleaning is in process.
Warning: to allow the circulation of as much fresh air as
necessary, there must be at least 40 mm between the
induction hob module and any appliance installed under it
(Fig.8B). In any event, adequate aeration must be provided.
To allow fresh air circulation there must be openings in the
kitchen furniture (Fig.7A - Fig.8A) of the sizes indicated in
Fig.7B - Fig.8B.
Electrical connections (Fig.2B):
Before making the electrical connections, check that:
-the ground cable is 2 cm longer than the other cables;
-the system ratings meet the ratings indicated on the
identication plate xed on the lower part of the worktop;
-the system is tted with ecient earthing compliant to the
laws and regulations in force. Earthing is obligatory by law.
If the appliance is not tted with a cable, use type:
“H05V2V2-F” for a power level of up to 6400 Watts. The
cross-section of the cable should be at least 2.5 mm², or 4
mm² for greater power levels. The cable should never reach
a temperature which is 50°C above the temperature of the
room in which it is installed. The appliance is designed for
permanent connection to the electricity supply and should
therefore be tted with an omnipolar switch which has a
minimum opening of 3 mm between contacts. The switch
should be suitable for the charge indicated on the appliance
data plate and must conform to all current legislation (the
yellow/green earth wire must not be interrupted by the
switch).
The omnipolar switch must be easy to reach once the
installation process has been completed.
